According to the National Institute of Health, atrial fibrillation (A-F) occurs if rapid, disorganized electrical signals causing the heart's two upper chambers, called the atria, to fibrillate. The term "fibrillate" means to contract very fast and irregularly. In A-F, blood pools in the atria. It isn't pumped completely into the heart's two lower chambers, called the ventricles. As a result, the heart's upper and lower chambers don't work together as they should. Based on the passage above, how will atrial fibrillation affect blood pressure?
A. It will lower blood pressure because less blood is pumped per beat.
B. It will increase blood pressure because the heart is contracting faster.
C. It will increase blood pressure because the atria fill fully with blood.
D. It will lower blood pressure because blood volume drops in the atria.

Ameadow ecosystem includes many species of grasses and small shrubs, several herbivores, and a few carnivores. a fungus colonizes the meadow and kills most of its vegetation. what is most likely to happen to the populations of herbivores and carnivores in the ecosystem? a. the populations of herbivores and carnivores will increase because there will be less competition for chemical energy. b. the populations of herbivores and carnivores will remain stable because the fungus cannot infect these organisms. c. the populations of herbivores will decrease because of vegetation loss, but the population of carnivores will remain stable. d. the populations of herbivores and carnivores will decline because less chemical energy will be stored in the ecosystem.
